Acclaimed international scientist, Professor Richard Warrick, has joined Â鶹ֱ²¥\u2019s International Institute of Agri-Food Security <\/a>(IIAFS).<\/p>\n

Professor Warrick, a leading climate change expert, has served as lead author on all four of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Assessment reports.<\/p>\n

In 2007, the IPCC shared the Nobel Peace Prize with former American Vice-President Al Gore.<\/p>\n

Curtin Business School (CBS) Pro Vice-Chancellor Professor Tony Travaglione said Professor Warrick\u2019s appointment would be of great benefit to Western Australian agricultural industries.<\/p>\n

\u201cFood security is one of the biggest challenges facing the global community,\u201d Professor Travaglione said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIIAFS is leading the way in providing effective strategies to increase local and regional food sustainability, with an emphasis on healthy, nutritious food.<\/p>\n

\u201cProfessor Warrick will work with IIAFS researchers on projects covering a range of issues including farm resilience, biodiversity and the assessment of impacts in a changing climate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Professor Warrick said his appointment was an opportunity to complement Western Australia\u2019s attention on mining with a renewed focus on the issue of food security and the impacts of climate variability in the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn recent years we have seen the devastating effects natural disasters can have on Australian food production,\u201d Professor Warrick said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my role at Curtin, I will use my research and training skills in climate change to work closely with industry to develop improved adaptation options for sustainable agri-food production systems.\u201d<\/p>\n

IIAFS is a collaborative research institute bringing together academics from across four Curtin faculties – CBS, Health Sciences, Humanities and Science and Engineering.<\/p>\n
